Gelide release 0.1.4 "Elendil" [2010-10-28]

A year and a half later, here we are with a new version of Gelide: 0.1.4 "Elendil".
As you can see we have adopted a naming system that was proposed by our good friend JesusDa, based on characters of the Tolkian world, and the idea of "One to rule them all". We used this occasion to make some changes in the web, with the intention to expand and clarify the use of Gelide.
Hope you like!

* New and updated:
- A new search system has been developed. Now it is case insensitive and
allow you to use the most standar wildcards:

"*" for replacement of zero or more characters.

"?" for replacement of exactly one character.

- The pannels of systems and emulators have been modified.
Now you can move your systems or your emulators inside their pannels.
- A new DAT file system has been developed with support for three
diferent DAT formats:

ClrMamePro.

Mame XML (You can get a dat file with "mame -listxml").

Logiqx XML.

- The games list generator has been revised. Now with two options in the
configuration dialog, you can decide whether to keep the current data of
your games (favorites, rank, etc.) and also you can decide if you want
to add games that are not in the DAT file (unknown games).
- The Libglade dependency has been removed.
- A new configuration system based on XML files, lets us remove the
dependency with Gconf. Now Gelide only rely on libgtkmm and libxml2.
- The emulators launcher has been revised. Now with an option in the
configuration, you can decide when to keep open the launcher dialog
after the emulation.
- Added "Nintendo DS" to the systems list with the emulator DeSMuME
preconfigured.
- Added "SEGA 32X" to the systems list with the emulators Gens/Gs,
Mess and SdlMess preconfigured.

Mednafen, Xe, Mess and SdlMess preconfigured.

emulators Mednafen, Xe, Mess and SdlMess preconfigured.

systems.

FCEUX, Raine, Gens/GS, Osmose and Generator
- These emulators have been removed: FCEU, Snes9x and Dgen/Sdl.
- The document "Systems&Emulators-HowTo.es_ES.txt" has been rewritten,
now includes much more information and documentation on the systems and
emulators configured in Gelide at the current version (Sorry, only in
Spanish at this moment, would you like to translate it? contact me at gelide.prj AT gmail DOT com).
- Updated French translation of Gelide by Emeric Grange (Thank you for contributing).
- Updated Swedish translation of Gelide by Daniel Nylander (Thank you for contributing).
- Updated Spanish translation.

* Fixes:
- Bug in the Information Pannel. Now, images are correctly scaled when
entering / leaving fullscreen mode and also when main window is
maximized or minimized.
- Bug in the command line that prevented the proper use of paths with
spaces in the emulators' executables.

As for the web, we have restructured the content and created a few new sections. Inside the Downloads section, we have created a new section
intended to add DAT files for each of the systems supported by Gelide. We also added a link to the forums of the project in which the
registration is NOT required to make use of them. Besides all this, we want to document Gelide completely, so we've created a Help section
in which we will try to put all the documentation we can.

More packages [2010-10-09]

Links have been added for Gentoo thanks to Jared and something that really did not expect, Mac port for Gelide by eldamar.se:samuel. I have no information about the functioning of Gelide on the Apple platform, so if someone uses it on Mac, would apreciate a screenshot (you can send it to the project's email).
Only I have to say that Gelide 0.1.4 "Elendil" is almost ready.

Greetings: jamf

Upgrading Packages [2010-03-27]

Links for Slackware packages created by Gohanz have been added and a PPA in Launchpad for Ubuntu created by Nikil Mehta in which you can also find some emulators packed (thanks for telling me, Scud).
We've also updated the links to Debian i386 packages created by Carlos Albornoz.
As Gelide, I still working on the nex 0.2.x series and also in some new things for the website like a classified links section.

Greetings: jamf
